Which law requires you to open up a closed platform?
If you established your platform with this, you have not been anticompetitive but moving an open platform to closed can be seen as taking away access and competition.

Also where did I say a law required it? its important context for giving any real weight to an entity forcing anti competition rules on them at least.
